We are happy to share two exciting announcements for our Open to All in Love Capital Campaign.
Our Detail Brochure is now available. You can read it here. This brochure includes details about the project, including scope, drawings, and more.
Thanks to St. Georgian Joe Di Lauro, we now have a video to share. In the video, our rector Rev. Joe Hensley shares about the project and what this means for our community.
St. George’s Episcopal Church will offer the first concert of the 2024-2025 Concert Season on Sunday, September 15 at 3 pm. The concert features John Bullard, playing classical banjo with piano accompaniment by Markus Compton.
As a classically trained musician and the first graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Music to earn a degree in performance with the banjo, Bullard’s concert repertoire includes solo, duet, and quartet performances of works from Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Schumann, and others. More recently, Bullard has begun featuring new work by contemporary American composers, including a Caprice in D minor in the Romantic style, from composer Frank Mullen, and a set of 24 Preludes for Solo Banjo, commissioned from Adam Larrabee.
The concert is free with donations accepted at the door.

In response to God’s generosity to us, we invite you to make a Gratitude Offering to St. George’s. We welcome you to give in honor or in memory of someone you care about. We welcome you to give in thanksgiving for blessings. We are also highlighting part of our ministry budget that blesses others as further inspiration to share in gratitude: the Community Dinner.
The Community Dinner is hosted by St. George’s members and friends every Monday in partnership with teams from other faith and civic groups. This is part of our work with Micah Ecumenical Ministries. Our guests include a variety of neighbors in need, some unhoused and some with homes and jobs. Guests receive a meal as well as a sense of belonging and care. As one of our guests, Michael, said last summer: “I am thankful for the community dinner. It’s a place to get a good meal and to get out of the heat. It’s a place to go to have people to talk to and a place to rest. It’s a place where I can go to figure out how I’m going to get back on my feet.”
We hope to raise $15,000 with our 2024 Easter Gratitude Offering to fund our parish budget for the Community Dinner and our annual donation to Micah Ecumenical Ministries. If you, like Michael, are thankful for the ministry of St. George’s, we hope you will consider a gift.
You can also mail a check to the office (PO Box 7127, Fredericksburg, VA 22404). Please include “Gratitude Offering” in the memo line and also note who you wish to honor or remember with your gift.
We will celebrate our gratitude together by publishing these names at Easter. Please make your gift by March 15th to have your honoree’s name included.
Thank you for your generous support!
May we turn away
From the darkness and
despair around us
So we can return
To God’s
steadfast and
abundant love.
Lent is a season of preparation for the joy of the resurrection of Jesus at Easter. Just as we as Christians are invited to observe a Holy Lent, we invite you to journey with us in community during this sacred time of reflection and renewal. While some may associate the time of Lent with penitence, it is also a time of deepening our connection with God. It is a time we intentionally open ourselves us to God as we patiently wait for the blessings of Easter.
Click here for our “Invitation to a Holy Lent” brochure. This brochure includes reflections on the promises and practices of the Baptismal Covenant.
We mark the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. The Ashes we receive on our foreheads remind us that we are “dust and to dust we shall return”. They are a solemn and comforting reminder that there are other pilgrims with us on this journey.
We will offer the Imposition of Ashes on Wednesday, February 14 at 7 am, 12 pm, 4:30 pm (for families) and 7 pm in our nave. All are welcome!
